Hydra Medic® Cleansing Gel for Face

Lucia was twenty six years old, and in the three days before her sister's graduation ball she could not look in the mirror without first checking where the next breakout might appear. Oily skin on her chin and nose had been a problem since her school years, but the last few months at her office on Karadžičova had made it worse, with stress and the mask she still wore because of the cold air conditioning. She stopped joining her colleagues for lunch, having noticed some of them studying her skin a little longer than they should.

When she came to us at Heydukova, I saw enlarged pores full of sebum and a few fresh breakouts around the chin, the typical picture of oily, acne prone skin that had not had a proper cleanse in a long time. I reached for the Hydra Medic cleansing gel with salicylic acid, because she needed something that could reach deeper into the pore without drying out the skin, only gently regulating sebum production.

After ten days of using it at home between treatments, her skin no longer looked so shiny by midday. After the second treatment in the salon, the breakouts had calmed down and the pores on her nose looked visibly smaller. Six weeks later she wrote to tell me that, for the first time in a year, she had taken a selfie without a filter and sent it to her sister with the words, "Look, I'm finally not ashamed anymore."
